    I'd concur with polyurethane if you're willing to put in the time (1-2 coats per day). You can get away with two coats, but 3-5 will probably look nicer and be a bit more durable. This will be a great long-lasting finish.

    If you just want a fast solution, I'd suggest spray shellac. You'll need 2-3 cans, so its a bit more expensive, but it dries fast (~15 mins) between coats so you can do the whole thing in a single sitting. The solvent dissolves previous layers so you don't need to sand.
